The "Freight Chaos" Problem
Dispatch teams overwhelmed by manual load assignments in disparate TMS, ELD, and carrier portals
Delayed carrier matching in spot market bidding resulting in 20% empty miles and rising DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) regeneration costs from idling
Compliance burdens from inconsistent ELD data syncing for FMCSA hours-of-service and IFTA fuel tax reporting
Invoice reconciliation discrepancies in EDI 214/210 transactions leading to demurrage disputes with shippers and carriers
Route planning delays from static GPS inputs causing detention at rail ramps and accessorial charges eroding OTR (Over-the-Road) margins
Yard inventory blind spots from siloed WMS data leading to overstocked cross-dock facilities and missed LTL backhaul opportunities

What Makes Us Different:
Quantifiable Time Savings and ROI for Your Bottom Line
Slash Dispatch Time by 25 Hours Weekly
Slash Dispatch Time by 25 Hours Weekly: Manual load assignments in TMS vanish. Our AI automates spot market carrier bidding and matching based on real-time ELD availability and lane history, cutting empty miles by 18% and freeing your team for high-value shipper negotiations. Expect a 3-month ROI through reduced dispatcher overtime costs alone, with payback on $50K annual labor savings.
Boost On-Time Delivery to 98% with Predictive Routing
Boost On-Time Delivery to 98% with Predictive Routing: No more guesswork in drayage or OTR hauls. AI analyzes real-time traffic via INRIX data, weather APIs, and historical carrier ETAs to optimize routes dynamically, including chassis splits at ports. This trims detention fees by 22%—averaging $150/hour avoided—and enhances customer satisfaction scores by 15 points in Net Promoter benchmarks.
Automate Compliance and Reduce Audit Risks by 40%
Automate Compliance and Reduce Audit Risks by 40%: ELD hours-of-service logs and FMCSA/DOT filings become effortless with API integrations. Our system flags HOS violations in real-time via geofencing alerts, ensuring adherence without manual DVIR (Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports) grind. Freight companies report 15% lower insurance premiums from proactive CSA score improvements, avoiding $10K+ in annual fines.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our dispatchers were buried in Excel sheets syncing loads across McLeod TMS, Samsara ELDs, and separate carrier portals—it was total chaos during Q4 peak with holiday freight surges. Now, the custom AI handles spot bidding and dynamic routing automatically. We've saved 18 hours a week on dispatch, and our on-time rate jumped from 82% to 96% in just two months. No more weekend scrambles pulling all-nighters for reefer loads."
Mike Harlan
Operations Manager, Midwest Freight Solutions (Regional Flatbed Carrier, 150 Trucks)
"Integrating our legacy TMS with carrier EDI portals was a nightmare; mismatches in 210 invoices cost us $12K in demurrage disputes last quarter from incorrect detention billing. AIQ built a tailored automation that reconciles ASNs and proofs-of-delivery overnight via API. It's cut our disputes by half, recovered $8K in overpayments, and the ROI hit in under 90 days. Feels like having an extra logistics coordinator handling our LTL consolidations."
Sara Nguyen
Controller, Eastern Haul Logistics (Intermodal Specialist, 200+ Drivers)
"We were hemorrhaging backhauls due to zero visibility into yard inventory from disconnected WMS and gate systems—trucks idling empty at our cross-dock in LA. Their AI workflow now predicts demand using historical lane data and alerts us to reverse loads via real-time RFID scans—it's boosted our equipment utilization by 14% on the West Coast runs. Setup took three weeks with minimal downtime, and the team's already pushing for expansions to our drayage ops out of Long Beach."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your AI handle the variability of freight rates and carrier performance?
Our custom AI models are trained on your historical data, incorporating factors like seasonal fluctuations, fuel surcharges, and carrier reliability scores from your TMS. For instance, it predicts optimal tender times to capture better rates during off-peak windows. Unlike generic tools, this setup achieves 92% accuracy in rate forecasting, based on benchmarks from similar freight ops. We start with a data audit to baseline your patterns, then iterate for precision—ensuring you avoid overpaying by 10-15% on average lanes. Deployment includes ongoing tuning to adapt to market volatility.
What integrations do you support for existing logistics software?
We specialize in deep, bidirectional integrations with platforms like McLeod, TMS360, Oracle Transportation, and even legacy systems via custom APIs. For a recent freight client, we linked their ELD provider (Samsara) directly to dispatch workflows, automating HOS updates and reducing manual entries by 28 hours weekly. No superficial connectors here—our engineers build robust links that handle high-volume data without downtime. If your setup includes QuickBooks for invoicing or Descartes for routing, we'll map it all into a unified flow, creating that single source of truth you need for efficient operations.
How long does it take to see ROI from your custom AI workflows?
Most freight companies realize positive ROI within 2-4 months, with immediate wins like 15-20 hours saved on dispatch alone. Take our case with a 200-truck operator: post-implementation, they cut empty miles by 16%, translating to $45K quarterly savings. We focus on quick-value features first—automated load matching and basic routing—while building out compliance layers. Your exact timeline depends on workflow complexity, but our phased approach ensures measurable gains from week one, backed by detailed ROI projections during discovery.
Can your system scale as our freight business grows?
Absolutely—our architecture is designed for scalability, handling everything from 50 daily loads to 1,000+ without performance dips. We use cloud-native frameworks that auto-scale during peak seasons, like holiday surges when volumes spike 40%. A Midwest client scaled from 150 to 350 trucks seamlessly, with zero integration rework. Unlike no-code platforms that hit walls at mid-size, our custom code supports multi-site ops, adding features like regional dispatch hubs effortlessly. We include growth forecasting in the build to future-proof your investment.
How do you ensure compliance with transportation regulations?
Compliance is baked in from the start. Our AI automates DOT/FMCSA requirements, such as real-time HOS monitoring via ELD feeds and generating IFTA reports with 99% accuracy. For one carrier, this slashed audit prep time from days to hours, avoiding a potential $8K fine. We incorporate rule-based engines that update automatically for regulatory changes—no manual tweaks needed. Security features include SOC 2-compliant data handling and role-based access for sensitive freight info. During onboarding, we audit your current compliance gaps to prioritize high-risk areas like driver logs.
What if we already use some automation tools—will this replace them?
We don't force a full rip-and-replace; instead, we integrate and enhance what you have, creating a cohesive system. If you're on tools like LoadPilot or basic TMS automations, our AI overlays intelligent decision-making—e.g., predictive bidding on top of your existing tendering. A recent project unified three partial automations into one workflow, cutting subscription costs by 35% while adding AI smarts. The result? No more data silos, just streamlined ops. We'll assess your stack in discovery to maximize leverage and minimize disruption.
